Re: Is my dog normal?

Duke's always been too chilled with anything like that BUT...

Clover is a nutter and quite often goes mad for 10mins running around usually when we are in bed settling down but she then crashes so just think it's her way of getting rid of excess energy.

Just stand back and let them get on with it.

I would say don't try to stop it!, its just normal puppy behaviour
Every puppy I've ever known has done this and I've not once known any of them come to any real harm.

All I have ever done when mine have got the zoomies (sorry catz1...I love that word to describe it so I'd like to borrow it ) is if there is something on the floor they could potentially fall over or harm themselves on then shift it quick...but other than that I just stand back and laugh at it.

Usually I shout to my daughters "quick on the sofa, she's going beserk again"...they leap out the way and giggle like mad, they think its hilarious!

Added info : I have also owned and known many adult dogs that still do this too but usually just after they've had a bath.

Re: Is my dog normal?

Indeed our three (almost four now) year old has had a renewed burst of these since we got the new pup a few months ago.

Re: Is my dog normal?

As others say, the mad sessions in the house are normal. But not so sure about the ones outside on the lead.

Re: Is my dog normal?

Roxy has mad 5 minutes, she is 9 months and she will trash anything that gets in her way including people! I am hoping she will grow out of it as my other dog did
